sewing skills and Lizzie's stats

So here's a picture of the nursing apron I made. I figured I wanted to try this since I was not so coordinated with blankets, plus they were way too hot in the summer. I followed someone's blog and I feel pretty crafty. For those of you who don't know, I am legally retarded when it comes to sewing. Like seriously bad, I don't understand any kind of sewing lingo. My mom helped me translate anything that didn't make sense. Surprisingly most of it made sense though. It also helped that almost the entire thing was straight lines. I can usually handle a straight line, USUALLY. :) I think it helped that at no point did I push the pedal down as far as it would go. That's also part of my problem with sewing, impatience. Anyway, so it's done in only a couple days! Yay!
Now to Lizzie, her two year checkup and such.

By the way, for those who don't know we think we've decided on Daniel Rahn Scanlon for the new little guy whenever he decides to join us, but we'll see for sure when we're in the hospital! :)
